Horses were very thirsty, but there is plenty of water for them.

Feed is rather scarce.

I named this creek and pool after the Honourable Arthur Blyth, Chief Secretary of South Australia.
21st.
Rested at camp.

I took observations for time, intending to take several sets of lunars, but the day was cloudy, and I only managed to get one.
Intend going ahead to-morrow in search of water.
22nd.
Started in company with Pierre to look for water ahead, steered a little north of east for about twelve miles to the points of the cliffs, and ascended a peak to get a view ahead.

The line of cliff country ran North-East, and to the east, spinifex undulating country; nevertheless, as I wished to get a view of some of the hills shown on Mr.Gosse's map, I bore East and East-South-East for over thirty miles, but could not find a drop of water all day, and we had come nearly fifty miles.
